Yes for LAAAAARGE KT4s !!

If I had the spare cash they'd be on the car yesterday. Maybe in a few months

One small update - Rear washer jet popped off and it's not even cold

Also my car now has textured paintwork in the form of tree sap! It's literally caked in it on one side. My car was parked up for two weeks next to a tree that I thought didn't drop sap Going to be a fun task trying to remove it all when I can be bothered

 

[Ad Lav]

Do it sooner rather then later as this can do what bird poo doesto paint - eat it!

You know how to fix wiper I take it?

I didn't realise tree sap ate paint! I'll try and clean it off tomorrow and then take a chainsaw to that bloody tree at the weekend

What's the best way to remove the sap?

Yeah I've read tonnes of threads about how to fix the rear wiper...I'll probably get a aero one to replace the arm whilst I'm at it too

 

[Ad Lav]

Thinners

Works on tar etc too just remember to polish its afterwards...

Take the wiper/motor out...

 

[Altech]

Would Methylated Spirit do? or would that damage the paintwork?

I'll take the wiper arm out completely when I fix the pipe to see what it'd look like

 

[Ad Lav]

Pass, only used thinners before...

lol Would look alot better!

use TFR (traffic film remover) that should remove it quite easily without damageing your paint as its ment for things like on cars.
also make sure you use wash and wax after if you get some TFR.

 

[Altech]

Do you mean paint thinners? I thought that would defo damage the paint?

 

[Ad Lav]

Paint thinners yes, its fine as long as you don't hold it on the paint!

Glug some on a rag and rub fairly hard until it comes off, or use that TFR stuff al mentioned?

 

[cupra.al]

i would have thought thinners would take the dirt off followed by the paint as thinners is overkill for cleaning paint..

 

[Ad Lav]

lol

Got tar and sap off my car before, just polished it afterwards!

Thinners will only take paint off if it's been recently painted. But it is a bit extreme. A good degreaser will be better. Or bug and tar remover.

Thats what I have used in the past, both degreaser & bug and tar remover. Worked fine.
